Easy to Put On Socks

The hardest part of putting on a sock is stretching a tight cuff over your heel. Mi Socks have a wide, loose top band with no tight elastic ring, so there is no narrow cuff to fight. Crew length ends at mid-calf, so there is less sock to pull up. One pair is $9.99, and any 2 pairs ship free in the US.

What makes a sock easy to put on?

A wide opening, a top band that is loose, a knit with some give, the right size and a length you can reach. Our guide, easy-on socks for seniors, covers each one, plus how to help someone else dress.

Crew or Knee High?

Crew is the easier length. It ends at mid-calf, so there is less to pull. Knee High reaches just below the knee and takes more reach. See diabetic crew socks for the crew styles alone.

If bending is hard

Sit down to dress, and size up if you are between sizes on the sock size chart. If you cannot reach your feet, a sock aid can help. Our guide to sock aids shows how they work.

Questions and answers

Which Mi Socks are easiest to put on?

Crew. It ends at mid-calf, so there is less sock to pull up than with a Knee High. If you are between sizes, size up.

Are these good socks for an elderly parent?

They suit anyone who finds ordinary socks tight or hard to pull on. The top band is wide and loose, the toe seam is flat and the sole is cushioned. They have no grip dots on the sole, so they are not slipper socks.

Do they stay up without tight elastic?

Yes. The top band is knit wide and loose, so it holds the sock up without a tight elastic ring. Pick your size from the sock size chart, because a sock that is too big can slide.

Do these socks squeeze your legs?

No. Mi Socks are not compression socks. They are made not to squeeze. If your doctor has prescribed compression stockings, keep wearing those.

Do 2 pairs ship free?

US shipping is free on orders of $19 or more, so any 2 pairs or more ship free. Under $19, shipping is $4.95.
